Se poate observa cum diversitatea influenteaza atat companiile si procesele interne, cat si relatiile cu clientii, furnizorii sau alti stakeholderi externi. De aceea, se ridica urmatoarea intrebare: de ce este recomandat pentru companii sa se concentreze pe diversitate?

Diversitatea vine la pachet cu o serie de elemente: diversitate culturala, lingvistica, religioasa, a statului social sau de varsta, iar impactul acesteia poate fi benefica organizatiei daca este abordata potrivit. Intre avantajele si dezavantajele aduse de diversitate este o linie subtire, de aceea gestionarea diversitatii este foarte importanta.

De ce o echipa diversa este benefica organizatiei tale?

CRESTE CREATIVITATEA SI INOVATIA
Cu atatea minti diferite si diverse, solutiile out-of-the-box sunt mai des intalnite. Fiecare membru al echipei contribuie in stilul propriu la brainstorming, sedinte de ideation sau in procesele de inovatie.

CRESTE PRODUCTIVITATEA
Diversitatea ofera contextul potrivit pentru ca diferite personalitati si talente sa lucreze pentru un scop comun folosind un set de competente care intareste relatia dintre membrii echipei si creste productivitatea acesteia.

EXPERIENTA DIVERSA
Unicitatea experientelor colegilor tai sunt puternic benefice pentru lucrul in echipe. Fiecare membru al echipei detine puncte tari si puncte slabe derivate din experientele anterioare. Daca acestea sunt gestionate corespunzator pot completa punctele slabe creand o armonie unica, iar impactul echipei sa fie imediat.

INVATARE SI CRESTERE
Un alt beneficiu adus de diversitate este cresterea la nivel personal al angajatilor. Expunerea la idei noi, culturi si perspective diferite pot duce fiecare membru al echipei la un nivel superior de cunostinte. Petrecerea timpului cu o echipa diversa din punct de vedere cultural poate rupe anumite bariere ale subconstientului dictate de etnocentrism si xenofobie.

CONCLUZIE
Diversitatea poate influenta baza oricarei organizatii, o echipa diversa daca nu este gestionata potrivit poate crea efecte nedorite. Deci, ignorarea efectelor sau existentei diversitatii intr-o societate care este in continua crestere doar va duce la pierderea productivitatii si, cel mai important, la pierderea profitabilitatii.[:en]

It can be seen how diversity influences both companies and internal processes, as well as relationships with clients, suppliers or other external stakeholders. Therefore, the following question arises: why is it recommended for companies to focus on diversity?

Diversity comes with a series of elements: cultural, linguistic, religious, social status or age diversity, and its impact can be beneficial to the organization if it is approached appropriately. There is a thin line between the advantages and disadvantages brought by diversity, that is why diversity management is very important.

Why is a diverse team beneficial to your organization?

INCREASES CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION
With so many different and diverse minds, out-of-the-box solutions are more common. Each member of the team contributes in his own style to brainstorming, ideation sessions or innovation processes.

INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY
Diversity provides the right context for different personalities and talents to work for a common goal using a set of skills that strengthens the relationship between team members and increases its productivity.

DIVERSE EXPERIENCE
The uniqueness of your colleagues’ experiences are strongly beneficial for teamwork. Each team member has strengths and weaknesses derived from previous experiences. If they are properly managed, they can complement the weak points, creating a unique harmony, and the team’s impact should be immediate.

LEARNING AND GROWTH
Another benefit brought by diversity is the personal growth of employees. Exposure to new ideas, different cultures and perspectives can lead each team member to a higher level of knowledge. Spending time with a culturally diverse team can break certain subconscious barriers dictated by ethnocentrism and xenophobia.

CONCLUSION
Diversity can influence the base of any organization, a diverse team if not managed properly can create unwanted effects. So, ignoring the effects or the existence of diversity in a society that is constantly growing will only lead to loss of productivity and, most importantly, to loss of profitability.[:]
